If you can hear your dog's nails on the kitchen floor they are too long, and long nails change how a dog stands. Ten minutes a month fixes it.

Nails are clipped or ground with a Dremel, which gives a smoother finish and suits dogs who hate the click of clippers. Black nails are done conservatively and we show you where the quick is. Ears are cleaned with a vet-grade solution and the hair inside plucked only where it is causing a problem; we do not pluck ears for the sake of it.

Teeth are brushed with a dog toothpaste and a finger brush, which is a start and not a substitute for the vet if there is tartar. For the dog that is not quite due a groom we do a paw tidy, an eye tidy or a sanitary trim on its own. Walk in between 1pm and 3pm on weekdays and we fit you in between dogs; for a nervous dog, book a quiet slot instead.

Questions about nails and tidy-ups

How often should nails be done?

Every three to four weeks for most pet dogs, less for a dog that walks on pavements a lot. If they have got very long, little and often brings the quick back so we can get them shorter over a few visits.
